Message from the headteacher
It is with great pride and privilege that I can introduce myself as headteacher of Waterthorpe Nursery Infant School. As a mum myself, I understand how children being safe and happy at school is one of the most important things to a parent. As the headteacher, this is my main job along with making sure the children learn, grow and achieve their full potential.
Here at Waterthorpe Nursery Infant School we work hard together to ensure that our children are safe, happy and able to begin their journey for lifelong learning.
We have high expectations for all children, whatever their starting point. We want our children to learn, not only academically but socially and emotionally and make happy memories of school, that they will remember all of their lives.
As well as the children and families, one of the greatest things about Waterthorpe is the hugely dedicated team of staff, who everyday motivate and inspire the children and go that extra mile to provide the best education possible.
Please come and say hello to me, outside in the morning or after school each day or email me headteacher@waterthorpe.sheffield.sch.uk I would love to hear from you.
Headteacher
Shelly Appleby
